Weekend Ministries


The success of our weekend services depends upon the volunteer

efforts of many people. In addition to the Saturday and Sunday services, they also serve at special services for Ash Wednesday, Lenten Wednesdays, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Christmas.


  • Altar Ministers

    The altar ministry team provides support to make worship services run smoothly, including preparing the altar and communion for the three regular weekend services. In addition, the team supports special services for faith milestones like First Communion and Confirmation. The work also includes setting up for baptisms, taking care of linens, placing flowers, and responding to any special requests of the presider.

  • Ushers

    Ushers are entrusted with promoting a sense of welcome and belonging to all the faithful assembled for worship and they make sure everyone has the materials they need to participate.


    They are one of the first contacts for a person entering our worship space and because of this, should take special steps in being living representatives of  our congregation's Mission Statement. 


    Ushers  respond to needs that may arise during the service and are trained to respond to medical situations.
